a membrane separating a vacuole from the surrounding cytoplasm in a plant cell
Word origin
[1885–90; tono- + -plast]This word is first recorded in the period 1885–90. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: booster, classified, reactor, sensitization, upsweep

Therefore, solute passage across the vacuolar membrane, the tonoplast, has to be tightly regulated.

However, the mechanisms for trafficking of vacuolar membrane proteins to the tonoplast remain poorly understood.

Some vacuoles were collapsed, but the tonoplast appeared integral.
